EFFECTS OF PRAVASTATIN ON HUMAN HEALTH – (07-11-05)

Pravastatin does not affect insulin sensitivity and adipocytokines levels in healthy nondiabetic patients

This article just says it all. I continue to preach that doctors who ignore elevated triglycerides and the group of other findings in patients with elevated insulin, and just focus on the cholesterol with statin drugs, should be guilty of malpractice. Period. There is no excuse. NONE. And yet I see it time and time again in my practice. So, the patient comes in with a neon sign over their head screaming insulin resistance, and their doctor only sees the high total cholesterol and gives them a statin drug. This allows the hyper insulinemia to wreak havoc on every organ system unchecked.

For more than a decade, Dr. Bogash has stayed current with the medical literature as it relates to physiology, disease prevention and disease management. He uses his knowledge to educate patients, the community and cyberspace on the best way to avoid and / or manage chronic diseases using lifestyle and targeted supplementation.

What Others Are Saying

I had severe and limiting use of my right arm due to a fall while hiking, after a few sessions, I no longer have pain in my shoulder area and can raise my arm high in the air and rotate my shoulder for a full range of motion.

When I came to Dr. Pangburn for Mesa Chiropractic treatment, I was walking like Quasimodo. I had had about every medical test available trying to determine why my hip was so painful. They all came back with the same results – no problem. Dr. Pangburn diagnosed the problem immediately, and within two months I was walking almost straight, with very little pain. I can only be thankful for Dr. Pangburns expertise.
